Every Day is Earth Day

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde had a one-on-one conversation with Sir David Attenborough, the preeminent global broadcaster, during the April IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings on the environment and life on earth.

The conversation explored more specifically the interplay and spillovers between the natural world and the economic and financial world. Attenborough recommended treating the natural world in a manner similar to the economic one—guarding nature’s capital, so profits from it could continue into the future.
